Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 630: The Great Northeast Strategy—Good News and Popularity in the World

Just when the South Route Army was smashing and killing the Japanese army, the North Route Army and the Central Route Army also launched an attack on the Japanese army.

Consistent with the battle plan formulated before the war, the North Route Army took Hailar as the center and advanced towards Zhalantun. Seeing that Chen Feng's 10,000+ army was rushing towards Zhalantun like a tide, the Kwantung Army wisely chose After retreating, the defenders of Erdaohezi, Boktu, and Zhalantun soon retreated. Even the Japanese and puppet troops in Gannan and Arong to the east of Zhalantun were all withdrawn. They all retreated to Qiqihar, an important military town in North Manchuria.

On the afternoon of the 7th, the forward troops of the North Route Army arrived at the outskirts of Heshan, Longjiang County on the outskirts of Qiqihar. The Japanese army deployed heavy troops here. This was the first line of defense for the Japanese army to defend Qiqihar.

Zhang Jingjun, Commander-in-Chief of the North Route Army of the Eighth War Zone, commanded the North Route Army to encircle Qiqihar. The North Route Army was divided into two groups. One route directly attacked Longjiang County from Nianzi Mountain, and the other route came from Gannan to Qiqihar City. , but was blocked by the main force of the Japanese army in Changshan.

At 7:2 p.m. on the [-]th, the two armies launched a tentative attack on the outer positions of the Japanese army, and found that the Japanese army had built complete fortifications on the outskirts of Qiqihar, which were composed of bunkers and permanent firepower points. The defense level and capabilities were extremely high. Gao, the tentative attack in less than an hour caused the two armies to lose [-] battalions, which shows how indestructible the Japanese army's fortifications are.

At the same time, the Central Route Army also easily captured the Ke You Front Banner, and wiped out an infantry brigade of the Japanese army and half a regiment of the puppet army in the Ke You Front Banner.A large number of cattle and sheep were seized, and the main force approached Ulanhot.

Obviously, the Japanese army attached great importance to Ulanhot, and a large number of troops were stationed here, and the fortifications around Ulanhot were also quite solid and complete.

At this time, on such a long front from Qiqihar in the north to Shuangliao in the south, China and Japan had gathered more than one million troops, and they were posing on the Qiqihar, Ulanhot, and Shuangliao front lines, with the momentum of a strategic decisive battle.

8日。齐齐哈尔攻防战正式打响。张敬俊亲自坐镇碾子山区，指挥6个步兵师1个炮兵师以及3个技术兵种旅，约22万大军对日军驻守的齐齐哈尔展开围攻，而叶赫丽娜则是指挥麾下的2万多杂牌兵北上黑河！准备夺取北满的这个军事重镇。

The Central Route Army also launched an attack on Ulanhot at this time.More than [-] troops attacked across the board.It put a lot of pressure on the Japanese army.The Japanese Third Front Army had to urgently increase its troops to Ulanhot.

The Southern Route Army, after a day and a night of continuous attacks, the Japanese army in Namusi finally collapsed again.Isamu Yokoyama, head of the Japanese First Division, continued to retreat eastward with less than 400 remnants. During the retreat, the Japanese army blew up more than 3000 Chinese civilians and more than [-] tons of ammunition in Namusi.

After the Namusi massacre, Chen Feng personally called Li Daniu, asking him to kill Heng Shanyong at all costs, otherwise he would not come back.

The Japanese army on the front line of Menda Town was bitten to death by the mobile corps, so they had to leave a large number of Japanese and puppet troops behind to cover the main retreat. After a day and night of fighting, the mobile corps wiped out three divisions of the puppet army and two of the Japanese army. There is an infantry brigade, but the main force of the Japanese army has withdrawn to 50 kilometers away.Even if the mobile corps wanted to pursue, it was too late in time.

At this time, the troops besieging Kailu County and Tongliao City sent an emergency telegram, saying that the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army took the initiative to attack 10 minutes ago, and the battle is still going on now. It seems that they want to break out of the encirclement.

According to Li Bin and Wang Jiming's analysis, it is true that the breakout of the siege and the containment of the mobile corps prevented the Jidong corps from chasing the Japanese army.Seeing that the main force of the Japanese army had already retreated far, it would be too late to pursue them, so after discussion, Li Bin and others decided to return the main force to assist Tongliao.

At noon on the 8th, Li Daniu's department called. After 6 hours of pursuit, he led a mechanized infantry regiment and finally stopped Heng Shanyong and others at the foot of a hill 35 kilometers outside Shuangliao City. After an hour of fighting, Before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, all the rout troops of less than 2000 were wiped out, and Yokoyama Isamu was captured alive. So far, the first division and the first tank division, which are quite famous in the Japanese army, were wiped out.

When the news came, the headquarters of the mobile corps cheered, but what was said below made them unable to laugh.Although Lin Daiyu and Bao Xinghua's units achieved great victories and wiped out the two main divisions of the Japanese army, their own losses were quite astonishing. Li Daniu's 4th Mechanized Infantry Division had more than 600 people left after the war. Thousands, there are more than [-] wounded and more than [-] dead.

But Bao Xinghua's First Armored Division was even worse. Only about half of the 1 tanks of more than 660 people remained, and the death toll was as high as [-]. Officers and soldiers were injured.The loss of the air defense brigade transferred to their command was also quite astonishing. A brigade with more than [-] people had only [-] people left after the war, and the death toll was as high as [-].

In this battle, Li Daniu's troops wiped out more than 5000 Japanese soldiers, and he himself lost more than 600 people. Among them, more than [-] people died in the battle, which can be said to be more than half of the casualties.In addition, more than half of the equipment of the First Armored Division was lost. Of the more than [-] light and heavy tanks, only more than [-] were left intact, and the rest were all in tatters.

After receiving the telegram from Li Daniu's headquarters, the mobile corps headquarters immediately called Li Daniu, ordering them to rest in place and treat the wounded. The main force will immediately go south to gather with them.

In North China, Chen Feng's troops fought deadly with the Kwantung Army, the largest military strategic group of the Japanese army in Northeast China. The troops used by both sides had exceeded 120 million, or even more.In the Indochina Peninsula of the South Pacific, the national government's 15 troops set out from Yunnan, China, and entered Burma to take over the British and Burmese troops to fight against the Japanese Southern Army.The two sides fought a big battle in Mandalay, and no one could do anything about it.

When the news came, the whole world was shaken, especially when the United States, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries were completely retreating, the Chinese government took the initiative to attack the Japanese army. Europe and the United States and other countries exclaimed that it was the Chinese who were resisting Japan.In particular, the Namusi victory wiped out the two elite divisions of the Japanese army, captured Japanese Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, killed Lieutenant General Yamada Tsujiro, and killed more than [-] Japanese officers and soldiers. Once the news was reported, it quickly spread internationally. caused an uproar.

Looking at the United States, Britain and other countries, the United States has just experienced the defeat of Bataan, and [-] officers and soldiers surrendered to the Japanese army.The United Kingdom just lost Yangon and was forced to hand over all of Myanmar's defenses to the Chinese government, and made it clear that it would give up ownership of Myanmar. As for the Netherlands and France, they are rubbish and have disappeared internationally. In this comparison, the Chinese It seems that he has suddenly become the protagonist hero of the entire Pacific theater.

For a time, the major media newspapers in the United States were full of figures of China and the Chinese army, and Chen Feng was undoubtedly the most dazzling star. Photos in military uniforms were published in the newspapers, and even the National Radio of the United States It also introduced the Chinese general on the other side of the ocean at length, and the military miracle he created suddenly ignited the enthusiasm of the American people.

The U.S. government also revealed to the people that which Chinese general has a good impression of the United States. Not long ago, it sent people to rescue the four-star general MacArthur in the Philippines, and also delivered a large amount of supplies to the U.S.-Philippines on Bataan Island. Those brave soldiers had the strength to continue fighting against the evil Japanese army. Even in the end, they still failed to hold Bataan, but this kindness will be remembered by the American people.

Especially when I heard that the Huaxia Company, which shocked the United States, is the industry of this general, and the new motorcycle sports cars that swept the United States and the penicillin, streptomycin, and tetracycline drugs that saved millions of Americans were invented by that general. After selling the products, a large number of Americans flocked to Huaxia's direct sales store, buying Huaxia's products in a big way. In just a few days, Huaxia's sales tripled.

The same thing happened in Britain and the Soviet Union. China and Chen Feng quickly became the most exposed words in the world, and quickly became popular all over the world. (To be continued..)
